Shoplifting

New York Shoplifting Defense Lawyer

There are countless explanations for shoplifting behavior or shoplifting apprehensions, such as the following:

Overzealous security guards who misinterpret observations and presume shoplifting where none was intended (such as when a shopper carelessly puts an unpaid-for item in a coat pocket in a store, or unknowingly leaves the store with unpaid merchandise on the bottom of a shopping cart)

Psychological disorder on the part of the shoplifter, such as kleptomania or psychotic episodes

Boredom, immaturity or poor judgment

Conspiracy or coercion by a friend or accomplice

A criminal conviction for theft of retail merchandise may be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the value of the stolen items. If you or your minor son or daughter has been accused by store security or arrested by police on suspicion of shoplifting, you are urged to seek knowledgeable legal counsel as soon as possible.
